This morning.

Newly ‘forensically-enhanced’ VHS footage of cctv showing the moments Trevor Deely was last recorded on camera.
It features a man talking to Trevor outside the rear entrance of Bank of Ireland Asset Management offices on Wilton Terrace, Dublin 2 during a Christmas party at the bank in the early hours of December 8th, 2000.
And later, what may be the same man is seen following Trevor in nearby Haddington Road, Dublin 4 where he was last seen.

Deep Sky Objects – Cork/Kerry alt-rock
What you may need to know…
01. Big riffs and dirty bass-tones emerge from the most recent studio excursion from Cork-based trio Deep Sky Objects.
02. Having emerged a few years back, the band have been steadily gigging around Cork city, with the odd excursion home to Kerry, including last year’s K-Fest in Killorglin.
03. Streaming above is single Desire, the first in a series of monthly singles leading up to August, to be accompanied by UK and Irish summer touring.
04. Catch them at Whelan’s in Dubland on the 15th, and back in Cork city’s Brú Bar on the 22nd.
Thoughts: A tighter, more elastic take on stadium-filler indie/alt, sans the bullshit. Good hustle.
June 15 will be the end of roaming charges in the EU.
Tom Moylan writes:
From that day, you can use phone (including data) when travelling in the EU & pay the same prices as you do at home.
Next time someone asks what the EU has done lately (apart from freedom to move and work, forming a trading powerhouse, ensuring consumer rights, reinforcing human rights, providing peace, creating a Europe-wide solidarity corps and allowing scientists share research and resources), you can include that.
FIGHT!
Uncanny.

Anyone notice the uncanny resemblance between the man on yesterday’s [RTÊ One] Six One news report from Cork on the Bus Éireann strike impact and ‘prog god’ Brian Pern?
Any excuse.

The importance of community is mutual support and contribution, and the Irish music scene has always been generous in rowing in behind their number in need.
Now is one of those times.
Dudley Colley writes:
Gary Sloan has been a stalwart of the Irish underground music scene for as long as I can remember, and I was horrified to hear the very sad news about the medical diagnosis his young son, Eoin has received (Eoin was diagnosed with MLD (Metachromatic Leukodystrophy) in October 2016).
So, seeing as I was already doing the Great Ireland Run 10k this Sunday, I thought it right to try and raise something to help his family. Given the short notice before the event, even if we only manage a couple of quid, it’ll help.
Gonna paraphrase the Thumped.com lads here:
Community is important. Looking out for each other is important. You can sponsor Dudley here. Please do so, then help spread the word.
The Shining (1979).
In Irish.
Colin Fleming writes:
This is a no budget (40 Euros) remake of the bar scene from Kubrick’s The Shining, As Gaeilge. We made this for Little Cinema Galway as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge. Everyone worked for free.
We were very limited with time and obviously having no budget was difficult too but I’m pretty happy with the overall result (the translation is excellent). Of course it has some weak points but it was a valiant effort all round.
In fairness.

The morning commute…
Dublin Digital Radio keep pumping out the good stuff, the perfect antidote to boredom and the prescribed spontaneity of daytime radio.
This week is absolutely no different, with new shows announced by the week at this point. DDR’s Cormac writes:
It’s been busy here at DDR towers with new shows coming left, right and centre. Last weekend we were chuffed to host production, CDJ and turntable workshops along with our good pals at Gash Collective.
Some new shows we are now lucky to announce include “Vital Signs” hosted by Neil O’Connor of Somadrone & Cian Murphy of I Am the Cosmos. Irish music hero New Jackson started his monthly show last Tuesday, catch his new record coming out on All City Records April 30th too!
As for something a bit different, last week we had the start of The Recommendation Game, a weekly show where two film lovers take turns to recommend a film the other has not seen, they watch and then meet to discuss it. Spoilers are a given.
The Repeater crew had a great guest mix of all original material from upcoming label Patrúin, keep an eye out as it’s hot!
This weekend we have a new show from Dublin based D, who probably most know as DJ Deece, with Deece Is the Word, and then on Sunday, Greg & Russell from This Greedy Pig are back with their show “Move Slow.”

The April issue of Village magazine.
Splutter!
We lead this edition of Village with the failure of the Department of the Environment under Simon Coveney to treat seriously what his government describes as its “number one priority”, housing: they can’t even compile useful statistics on housing completions.
As Mel Reynolds first pointed out on these pages, housing-completion figures for last year were – at absolute best – 7300, not the claimed 15,000.
How can you make policy when you don’t even know the scale of the problem you’re addressing; when you have to lie about it?
